Abstract

The 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child establishes in article 14 the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion. This article has as a double objective on the one hand, to underline that children and adolescents are active subjects of the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion and, on the other hand, to determine how this right manifests at the school, one of the most important places where children develop. The reason is the existence in the classrooms of a religious and cultural diversity that provides enriching situations for educational action but that can also generate conflicts, tensions or doubts about how to manage it, for which it is necessary a legal response or recommendations of action according to Law.
